LG KV2400 Slider Phone

With all the apparent success behind LG's Chocolate slider phone and its arrival in the US, readers might be interested in the Korean company's latest phone in the same vein: the KV2400. Currently only available under the Cyon brand in LG's home territory of Korea, the KV2400 could be a viable alternative to those who want a different interface and style than the Chocolate. The specifications are very similar: it too focuses heavily on music playback and has a 1.3 megapixel camera with video functions. A lack of Korea-specific features like T-DMB for mobile TV might disappoint users on its native soil, but that makes it a prime candidate for North American cellphone carriers who want to match Verizon's offerings.
